    I've been at a loose end the past couple of days, apart from a lecture at uni last night, so decided to have a go at making a social networking site. It's never going to be as functional as Facebook, nor will it ever be a patch on them in terms of members (currently at 2:D). I've enjoyed messing around with it though and it's been a cool little project.

    I used Wordpress on the backend, with the Buddypress plugin, and a mixture of other custom plugins and off the shelf ones too. I spent around a full day on it so far, and there's some more stuff left to do. If I can get a few of my mates interested in it, I may buy a domain name for it. As it is, it's just sat in a sub-folder atm.

    Anyways, feel free to have a nosey, and let me know what you think. Good or bad, I'm keen to hear it:D

    Sure, I signed up. No idea what number I am, though.

    Very nicely built, though.

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate you all taking the time to sign up. If it ever does take off, the party's on me for the first 100 members:D I've created a group for Bit-Tech'ers, and sent invites out to you all. Regards the games, I want them to be more integrated into the site, and that's what I'm working on next.

    EDIT: I've just activated your account for you, you should be able to login now.
